    Almost. Just not call it a "following patch" because once this is
    applied, the following one might be a different one depending on the
    ordering a git command has requested. So a "later patch" would be
    probably better.

    Yes but you need to tell the stable people somehow that this one is a
    prerequisite and that they should pick it up too.

    Unless you can reorg your code this way that you don't need patch 1...

    Thx.
